Posted - 11/02/2010 : 6:16:39 PM I thought that with the holiday season almost upon us (with stress galore!), it would be nice to start this thread again. So go ahead and share one thing (or more!) that made you happy today :)

Today, I discovered a new place to have lunch near work -- affordable and the menu had many different dishes that appeal to both DH and me (I got a yummy vegetable couscous, he got pasta with mushrooms, sausage, and chicken). Little things like that are nice surprises :)

Posted - 04/06/2014 : 04:02:36 AM Happy I got a sweet email from a fellow knitter! And, I'm going out to lunch today with a young second cousin!

Today I wound a skein of sock yarn called Pansies at the Phipps given to me in a swap. Vesper sock yarn. Soon we will be seeing the boxes of spring pansies at the garden center. Thinking I'll cast on for Ann Budd's old faithful basic sock pattern to highlight the purple, orange, green self-striping goodness.

Posted - 02/06/2014 : 05:01:11 AM I'm so happy to see this thread, too! And like Marfa says, it's like an old friend. It's too early on Thursday morning for anything to have happened today, but how about yesterday? A snow/ice storm kept me at home, so I baked a little cake and enjoyed it with tea and knitting. A simple day, but sometimes those are the best.

This thread is like an old pal & how sweet to have it pop up on our radar. Thanks, Irish Red.

My good news today is that we did not lose power. A ton of folks did because of the ice that had formed on the power lines & trees that came down all over the Philly area. The power was off at work until early afternoon & we did not have to go in.

We puttered, cleaned, refilled the bird feeders, shoveled, played double dominoes & each of us did work.

And no, I have not knit yet at all. After dinner I shall pick up the needles!

Posted - 02/05/2014 : 09:46:52 AM I actually remembered my password. Now if I can remember where I left the needle for my mitten!That would make my day!

Posted - 12/15/2013 : 2:08:25 PM Yes Anna, we remember those that have gone on, through their posts. Kleenex, please. All the wonderful and great knitters that have posted on KR, not only have helped us with our knitting but held us as we cried.

Thank you everyone.
